Today, Lanner Electronics Inc. announced the support of Intel®’s third generation processor technology, Ivy Bridge, with its FX-3210, FW-8865, FW-8758 and FW-7582 network appliances.
The 2U rackmount FX-3210 is engineered to meet challenging security system management requirements. By combining storage and high-end network processing capabilities, this network appliance is the ideal platform for log management, SAN, compliance reporting, event management, real-time monitoring and incident management. Ivy Bridge processor options for this system include Intel® Xeon® E3-1275V2, Intel® Xeon® E3-1225V2, Intel® CoreTM i3-3220, and Intel® Pentium® G2120.
The FW-8865 is a 1U rackmount network appliance designed for demanding network applications. The FW-8865 features HDD trays and two Ethernet module bays for flexible port configuration. The FW-8865 is popular for DDoS, enterprise UTM, enterprise firewalls, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), application delivery and WAN optimization. Ivy Bridge processor options for this system include Intel® Xeon® E3-1275V2, Intel® Xeon® E3-1225V2, Intel® CoreTM i3-3220, and Intel® Pentium® G2120.
The FW-8758 is a 1U rackmount network appliance with one Ethernet module bay and a mid-range x86 processor architecture. This is a popular platform for UTM, firewalls, VPN, IPS and WAN optimization. Ivy Bridge processor options for this system include Intel® Pentium® G2120, Intel® CoreTM i3-3220, Intel® CoreTM i5-3550, and Intel® CoreTM i7-3770.
The FW-7582 is 1U rackmount network appliance with an entry-level x86 processor architecture. This is suitable for SMB UTM firewall, VPN, IPS and WAN optimization. Ivy Bridge processor options for this system include Intel® Pentium® G2120, and Intel® CoreTM i3-3220.
According to Intel®, Ivy Bridge processors outperform its predecessor, Sandy Bridge, with a 5%~15% increase in CPU performance and 25%~68% increase in integrated GPU performance. Ivy Bridge processors use 3-D Tri-Gate transistor technology which consumes up to 50% less power than 2-D transistors at the same performance level. Existing customers who wish to upgrade to Ivy Bridge may require a BIOS update, but will definitely see an increase in performance and a reduction in power consumption.
